Grey mining pointsFollow

I don't quite understand you. Gray = trivial i.e. you can mine it but will receive no skill ups.

Here's the progression:

Red = Beyond your ability at your current skill level. You'll need to gain skills before you can mine it.
Orange = You can mine it and will be guaranteed a skill pt.
Yellow = You can mine it and there's a good chance for a skill pt.
Green = You can mine it and there's a chance for a skill pt.
Gray = Trivial as I said.

Could it be the colour on the minimap? The greyer than normal nodes on that are usually underground. You should look around for a cave entrance which should lead you to the node.

Ah, sorry, i guess I should have specified that. Yes I meant on the minimap. BUT! i have now gained some important color information I didnt previosly know.

So the grey mining points (on the minimap) are underground as in....in a cave...is that right?

Just to add to this, there are places where the colour on the mini map ins't totally reliable, I have found many where mining nodes show up bright yellow on the mini map but are actually underground. A good example is if you're standing in the hills above the Deadmines.

Just to save you the frustration I had at first trying to find nodes above ground just because they showed up bright yellow! :)
